As an IT7 competitor, I can tell you that my car won't even come close to the minimum weight, even with my 75# lighter brother driving it. I understand the arguement for more recognition, cash, etc. for a national rule set. I also understand that it would be reasonable to have the car classed in ITB if all of the variables can be accounted for. I have two questions, however. The first is why do we need to do this when it is a regional class and different parts of the country are perfectly happy with their IT7 or SRX7 or Pro7 rules? Seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist (for me, at least). Secondly, with 12A parts getting more and more difficult to find and, therefore, more expensive, what are ideas on handling the dearth of needed parts? The last (two) times Captain Who and I had the 12A rebuilt, it was $3K. If you haven't noticed, you can buy IT7 and SRX7 cars for about this price. Just my $0.02 worth.
